PRODUCT ASSEMBLY

– Fit the high pressure hose (5) to the pressurised water outlet of the machine (6).
– Attach the gun (7) to the high pressure hose (5). Before putting the machine into operation, make sure that the high pressure hose (5) is completely unwound. The hose (5) should not become entangled while in use.
– Install the spray nozzle (12) or the item to be used.
– Connect the machine to the power supply (8) and water supply (3).

OPERATION

Setting the water pressure

– The angle of the water jet can be set with the spray nozzle by turning the tip. This will cause the jet to vary from approximately 0° (narrow high impact jet) to 60° (wide spray jet). Fig .3

This device has 3 modes:

Concentrated mode
The angle of the water jet can be set with the spray nozzle. Rotate the nozzle to select the direct jet, which has a high impact on the surface to be cleaned and provides thorough cleaning of concentrated areas. This jet must be carefully used, as it can damage surfaces. Fig. 4

Note
Pay special attention when cleaning surfaces susceptible to damage, such as vehicle bodywork or rims, lacquered surfaces, wood, paintwork, etc.

Spray mode
Turn the spray nozzle to select the fan spray pattern to cover large areas. This cleaning mode offers excellent results without the risk of damaging surfaces. By using a wide spray pattern, larger areas can be cleaned more quickly. Fig. 5

Turbo mode
Use the 3D TurboFlip nozzle to clean with a turbo mode. Water is distributed in a spiralshaped jet. The 3D
TurboFlip nozzle combines the power of a direct ject of great impact with the efficiency of a 25º jet. This transforms the concentrated jet into a conical jet that deep cleans larger areas. Fig. 6.

Product performance
Note
The motor of this pressure washer does not  run continuously. It only runs when pressing the trigger. Once the initial procedures in this manual have been carried out, turn the pressure washer on and press the trigger to activate the pressure washer.

Nozzle cleaning

– A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can significantly reduce water output and cause intermittent jetting. To clean the nozzle:
– Turn off and unplug the unit.
– Disconnect the water supply. Press the trigger 2 or 3 times to release the pressure trapped in the hose.
– Disassemble the wand.
– Turn the nozzle to concentrate mode, this will activate the internal blades.
– Use the cleaning clip provided, or any pointed item to clean the nozzle, e.g. insert an unfolded paper clip into the nozzle hole. Move it inwards and outwards until all dust and dirt is removed. Fig. 7
– Pour water through the nozzle hole into the nozzle in order to clean the dirt remains. To do this, point a garden hose on at the nozzle for 30-60 seconds.

High pressure hose angle to surface to be cleaned
– When spraying water against a surface, the jet achieves maximum impact when sprayed  head-on. However, this type of impact tends to embed dirt particles into the surface, creating the opposite cleaning effect to the desired. Therefore, the optimum angle for spraying water against a surface is 45°. Spraying water at this angle improves the impact and allows it to be combined with more efficient dirt removal. Fig. 8

Distance from the surface to be cleaned
Another factor that determines the impact force of the water is the distance to the surface to be cleaned. Impact and force of the water increases as the spray nozzle approaches the surface.

How to avoid damaging surfaces
– A surface is damaged when the impact of the force of the water is greater than the hardness of the surface. The impact force will vary according to the settings mentioned above. Never use a direct jet on surfaces susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with the direct jet, as they may break.

The best way to avoid damaging surfaces is to follow these steps:

– Before pressing the trigger, move the spray nozzle to the fan spray position.
– Follow the distance and angle instructions mentioned above.
– Vary the angle of the jet, the type of jet and the distance from the surface to be cleaned until efficient cleaning is achieved without damaging the surface.

3D TurboFlip nozzle.
The TurboFlip 3D nozzle, also defined as a rotating nozzle, is a very effective accessory to significantly reduce cleaning time. It must be used to clean in the turbo mode explained in the previous section.

Cleaning process
The following cleaning procedure will help you organize and ensure you get the best results.
Remember to follow the previous advice.

Preparing the surface

– Clear the area of furniture and check that windows and doors are securely closed.
– Also make sure that plants and trees near the area to be cleaned are protected with a cloth.

Initial high-pressure rinse
Spray the area to be cleaned with water to clean any dirt that may have accumulated on the surface. Before pressing the trigger, move the spray nozzle to the spray mode position and progressively move it to the desired spray position. This way, you will avoid applying an excessively direct jet on more delicate surfaces.

Final rinse
Start the final rinse from bottom to top. Make sure that the surface is well rinsed and that all dirt has been removed.

Turning off

– Make sure there is no detergent in the system.
– Turn off the motor. Turn off the water supply.
– Once the product and the water supply have been turned off, press the trigger to depressurise the device.
– After each use, wipe the surface of the pressure washer with a clean, damp cloth.

Warning

– Do not turn off the water supply until the motor has been switched off, as this could cause serious damage to the pump and motor.
– Do not remove the high pressure hose from the machine while the system is being pressurised. To depressurise the device, turn off the motor and water supply and press the trigger 2 or 3 times.

Tips for extending the product shelf life

– Do not use the product without water.
– Do not use the product with hot water.
– Before setting the spray nozzle pressure (high to low or low to high), release the trigger.
– Never use the unit for more than 1 minute without spraying water.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

– The machine must be switched off and disconnected from the mains for cleaning or maintenance.
